Ok this is it.

I said to myself while standing in the front door of the Lockhart's mansion.

I didn't really expect that I will come back again in here, more over continue to be the teacher of Triston. Because of everything that happened but I guess since I step in the Lockhart's residence, things begin to happen unexpectedly and I think I need to get used to that.

The big wooden front door opens and a very happy Becca greeted me.

"Oh Sierrah dear, were so happy you're here."

She said and she hugs me and I hug her back. When we finish embracing each other I saw Mr. Ted the butler and the uniform man that I saw last time which I assume is Mr. Thomas, smiling at me.

"It's nice to see you Miss Sierrah, I'm sorry If I didn't properly introduce myself last time, I am Thomas Warren the personal driver of Mr. Lockhart and young Master Triston."
Thomas said and we shake hands.

"It's nice to meet you also Mr. Thomas."

"We officially welcome you Miss Sierrah as part of the Lockhart's residence household."
Ted said to me while patting my back.

"Oh, Thank you so much to the three of you I really appreciate the warm welcome."
I said to them feeling so overwhelm.

"Of course! It's the first time since I couldn't remember that there's a new household member in this mansion."

"You are indeed very special Miss Sierrah so you really deserved a very warm welcome especially to what been happened the last time."
Thomas said and Ted glare at him.

"Can you please don't bring up again unpleasant things, you're ruining the good atmosphere!"

"I'm not, I just stating the facts!"

I just chuckle while watching their small banter.

After exchanging some pleasantries and Ted reminding me again of what is expected to me as Triston's teacher, Ted and Thomas walk me to Triston's study room.

Thank God, we enter inside of the study room peacefully. And as usual just like the last time that I saw Triston, he's already seated and reading a book.

I give Ted and Thomas a smile and nod signaling that they can leave us now.

Then I seat again to the chair were I seated last time opposite to Triston. I ready my most sincere smile to my most intriguing student of all time.

"Hello Triston, It's nice to see you."

I said smiling, looking directly at him.

He closes the book that his reading and I mentally remind myself to see what's title of that book.

Triston then places the book in the chair next to him and looks at me, with the same expressionless face.

But somehow deep in his sparkling gray eyes I saw a different emotion... excitement, intrigue, hope.

"Good morning Teacher Sierrah."

I don't know why, but my heart skip a beat when he greeted me using the small normal voice of a 5 year old kid. So different to the voice that I heard the last time that we talked.

"Well, the last time that we been together we didn't properly introduce ourselves to each other. So..."

I smile at him and give my right hand.
